Windows game bar isnt recording correctly

Dear customer.

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

In your description, I understand that you are having recording issues with the Game Bar.

I do understand the frustration and chagrin of not being able to use the Game Bar properly at this time.

You can refer to the following steps to fix or reset the Game Bar

1 Right-click on the Start button and select Settings

2 Click System>System components

3 Find Game Bar, click on the “...” icon on the right side and select Advanced Options

4 Try clicking on the Repair and Reset buttons in the Reset section to see if it restores the Game Bar.

If the problem still exists, you can refer to the following steps to uninstall and reinstall Game Bar

1 Search for “Windows PowerShell” in the taskbar, right-click on it, and select Run as administrator.

2Type in the following commands and press the Enter key

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

3 Then open the Microsoft Store, search for Xbox Game Bar, download and reinstall Xbox Game Bar through the Microsoft Store to see if you have the same problem.

If the Game Bar is still not working properly, to rule out the possibility of an account profile error, please create a new local administrator account by referring to the following link

Check to see if you have the same problem in the new local account.

If the Game Bar still has the error, please refer to the link below for an in-place upgrade.
